A RARE MEAT BLOCK.

Stepping into the meat market of
Zachary & Zachary yesterday, our atten-
ton was called to meat block in course
of preparation for use. It was a little
over three feet in diameter, after having
the sap wood cut away. The section as
cut sixty feet from the butt which was
seven feet in diameter. The peculiarlty
of the wood was that it was remarkable
srAcimen of the variety known as "curl-
ed Iynplar." not variety, but 2 Epors.
The tree had fallen in field and from
its size was much in the way, and the
owner had in vain made the offer of $25
to any one who would cut it up into stove
wood and haul it to his house. A saw
mill was afterwards erected near the
house, and the owner gave away the
PROSTATE tree, and from such of the tim
Der as was available ten thousand feet of
lumber was cut.

Messrs. G. D. Blauton and J. B.
Bostic, who recently moved to our
city and engaged in the real estate
business. yesterday purchased from
Capt. VIM. Cooke fifteen acres of
valuable property at the South end
of Bailey street. We learn the price
paid was $4,000.
In Danville, Va, the total num-
of gallons of water pumped last year
was 305 100000 making an average
of daily consumption Of 36,712 gall
Ions or 80 57-10O gallons per capita.
per day for population of 10000.
We shall be curious to know what
will be the daily consumption for
this. place when the water works
system gets into full operation. Ex-
cept that it must be controlled to
pay proper and necessary revenue,
the supply might be illimitable; for
it is practically as "free as water"
Its pumping is automatic. and the.
stand pipe can be al full head all
the time, the supply coming in quite
as fast as it runs out.

SALE OF CEMETERY LOTS.

According to advertisement the Ashe-
vile Cemetery Company offered at pub
lie auction yesterday lots for sale. Only
= few were sold, as the prices brought
we're not what were expected. Our peo-
ple must remember that interments can
only be made in this cemetery, or, out
side of the city limits. The city ceme-
terry is elegantly located, and laid of
into splendid lots, and the amount charg-
ed per lot is most reasonable. We hope
our citizens will give attention to this
matter, and, those not vet accommodated
should call on Mr.. M. ]. Bearden and
secure one or more lots. There is no
speculation in this matter, but as we all
have to prepare for this important dis
position of ourselves it is well we should
attend to it at once. 1t may cost US more
after while to be decently and pleas
antly and satisfactorily buried than it is
to die. In time of peace prepare for war

Lord George Paget, writing of the
famous charge of the light brigade
at Balaklsya, says: "One incident
struck me forcibly about this time
the bearing of riderless horses in
such circumstances. was, of
course riding by myself and clear of
the line, and for that reason was q
marked object for the poor dumb
brutes. They consequently made
dashes at me, some advancing with
me considerable distance; at one
time as many as five on my right
and two on my left, cringing in on
me and positively squeezing me as
the round shot came bounding by
them. l remarked their ewes,
betokening as keen a sense of the
perils around them as we human
befnE experienced, and that il
eaying &-good deal, The bearing
sf the hofse was riding, ilrcontrast
to these, was remarkable. He had
been struck, but showed no signs of
fear, thus evincing the confidence of
dumb animals in the superior
being.

WILL BLAIR's FURNITURE STORE.

1t is pleasure we enjoyed yesterday
in walking through this newly opened
establishment Its ample length and
light brought every thing to full inspsc-
tion, and merits or defccts alike stand
revealed or exposed. The chief satisfac-
ton is to find how large a portion of the
stock is of home manufacture, the pro-
duct of the Asheville Furniture Works.
In tastefulness of design, durability OF
construction and excellence of material,
they equal any thing made in the United
States. How could it be otherwise when
made at the headquarters of the supply
of walnut, cherry and other fine woods ?
and all this furniture is solid; no sham,
no veneer; but honest cherry, honest
walnut.

Says the Raleigh correspondent

Says the Raleigh correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch:
"There is a good deal of indig4
nant comment lon an article in the
Greensboro Republican paper, the
North State, urging the Republican
clerks of the Superior Court to re~
fuse to swear in any of the magis-
trates appointed by the late I.egis-
lature. This is bold and bad advice,
which the clerks would not dare to
follow. Such action on their part
would result very seriously to them.
The Republicans, angry at thd
manner in which the Democrats
whipped them out, would like to
resort to any means to secure their
ends. sTney wished this Republican
clerksto haye the opportunity OF
appointing the magistrates. OF
course they would have appointed
Republicans"

yVedled In a show-Window.

a wedding in shoM-windoW at
26z and 269 west Indiana street att
tracted a crowd of 5000 or 1000
people to the scene last night and
completely blocked up the street for
nearly two squares. The proprietor
Of retail furniture-store at that
Place had a wanted" advertisement
staHding in some OF the city papers
fol several days, offering to donate
the contents of large triple show,
window to any young couple who
would consent to be married there.
John Spieer, honest young working
man living at EagleWood, answered
the advertisement, and said that
himself and Miss Mary Culpin were
willing to make the bargain.
The aHnouncement was made
fPaelic thatsthe ceremony would
take place at 8 o'clock Saturday ev-
ening, and curious throng began
to gather some time before the hour
designated. The crowd grew to
such dimensions that Sergeant Beau
bien, with ten officers from the West
Chicago avenue station, was called
to the scene to maintain order. At
8 O'Clock three closed carriages, con-
tanning the bridal party, drove
around the corner of Centre avenue
and Vainly attempted to make a
paSsageWay to the front door, de-
spite the efforts ofthe squad of po
lice officers. The crowd at once
recognized the party in the carria-
ges, and the cheering and yelling
which ensued would have rendered
an ordinary boiler-explosion maud
ible. By executing a flank move-
ment an entrance was gained by
way of the rear door thaough the
alley. Justice Fischer, who had
been engaged to perform the cere~
mony, accompanied the party in the
carriage, but he refused at the last
moment to face the crowd, and JUS
tice Eberhardt, of Jefferson, was sent
for. During the hour of waiting
which followed the. crowd amused
Itself BY hooting andl yelling and
crushing against one another to get
q glimpse of the show-window. g
The Jefferson justice at length ar
rived, and his appearance with the
bridal couple in the window was
greeted by more cheers from the
thousands without, the most of
whom could not get close enough to
see what was going on. The win
dow occupied the entire width of
one store>room, and was profusely
decorated with garlands. of flowers
and wreaths of evergreen. In the
background were, complete sets of
bedroom, kitchen. and parlor furni-
ture with which to furnish the new
of the couple, at 48 Centre
avenue. The bride and groom were
plainly dressed in street costume,
and seemed rather nervous under
the scrutiny of the large audience.
The ceremony was performed by
the justice with breyity and des~
patch, the questio and answers
being entirely inaudible without.
even the customary kissing being
dispensed with in their precipita-
ton. The appreciation of the crowd
was manifested in the most enthu-
siastic manner and with long con.
tinued cheering Chicago Tribune.

TIE CARRIE STANLEY COMPANY.

CHE CARRIE STANLEY COMPANY.
To morrow evening tie curtain rises
at the Opera House, and introduces to
the public the renowned Carrie Stanley
troupe. They come with such character
that we anticipate nothing but perfect
satisfaction. AS we have no experience
yet of our own on which to base opinions,
I'VE fall back upon those who have, we
quote the following notice of the per-
form ance of Monte Cristo, which We take
from the New Orleans Picay1'ae:
At the Avenue last night the Carrie
Stanley Company gave a fine perform
ance of Dumas great play Monte Cristo''
and from the rising of the cur ain till tie
last act, the audience were most enthusi-
astic at the admirable way in which the
company handled the play, and Miss
St&nley's impersonation of Edward
Dantee," was truly grand and deserved
the recalls which she received at the end
of each act, Miss Stanley will always be
welcomed back to New Orleans.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The
Acting Secretary of the Treasury
has received letter from Deputy
Collector Spencer, at Tampa, Fla,
saying that for weeks past several
persons prominently Unidentified
with former flibustering expedi-
tons to Cuba have been congregat-
ing at Ybor City, some of whom.
he says, came from New York and
others from New Orleans and Cuba.
Acting upon standing instructions
from the Department and with the
belief that the men meant to send
an expedition from Punta Gorda,
arrangements were made with the
collector at Key West and with the
commander of the revenue cutter at
that port to prevent their doing so.
The suspected men made themselves
very ofesive to the cigar manufac-
turers at Ybor City, interfering with
the employees and threatening bodi.
ly harm ia Martinez, Ybor & Co. if
they did not pay them certain sum
of money. The manufacturers at
once appealed to the citizens. Of
Tampa tor protection, land COM
mittee of citizens waited on the
6libusterers and ordered them to
leave the town. All left quietly the
next day, except two of the party,
who are confined in Jail at Tampa
for murder committed at Ybor some
time previous. This action on the
part of the citizens had good eff
feet. Deputy Spencer says the at
tempt has evidently been abandon
ed, and that it is not likely that any
more efforts will be made to start
similar expeditions from that neigh
torhood for some time to come.
